Seriously, this is too bizarre. These people must have a limited selection of “write like” examples. Or maybe I should read more Lovecraft. Sometime, when I have a reason to want to not sleep for several days, I’ll do that little thing. I write likeH. P. Lovecraft I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal [...]
On June 6th I went to a concert with my good friend from way back in our Air Force days, Tresha. She was the friend who convinced me to go see the first Star Wars movie when it was released back in 1977. We saw it at the Cine Capri theater in Phoenix. All my [...]
